Being a hologram means it is much easier to say “Beam me up Scotty” when “there is no intelligent life down here” from the congregation when they don’t listen to your sermon, or respond with hostility because what you said was too true and they now want to martyr you because of that.

If we beamed down the holo doctor played by Robert Piccardo on Star Trek to check out the authenticy of any charismatic healings we’d now have to obtain clearance from the bosses of his new series Stargate Atlantis where he plays the CEO of the Atlantis project team. They do have transporters for beaming one another around on both programs. Personally, I wonder why they just haven’t cloned angelic wings on the team members – they must have the technology to do it – to get them around.
On the Ouija Board summoning mistake, what if they got one of the predators from Alien instead? Or maybe perhaps not, but an English Police phone box…..
Anyway, I’m getting mixed holo-emissions from this holyholo-transmission now.
Am wondering if the holgraphic stuff is somehow linked to the quantum physics/spirituality theme that seems to be popular to discuss nowadays?

What happens when in some futuristic time some highly imaginative and `innovative’ prophet manipulates this holographic technology to somehow proclaim the images that it projects of himself are his “ascended self” – untouchable, unaccountable, aesthetically attractive, ageless – to build a pop-religious cultish following from anyone guillible enough to trust and follow him?
“Ascension” of ones-self is a popular theme in the Stargate series.
Anyway just chucking this in for some `apocalyptical fun’ with the topic of holographic religious identities.
